About

From the first Mento record ever recorded on the island to the continuing popularity of performers like Black Chiney today, Chinese-Jamaicans have played a tremendous but little-recognized role in the development and spread of Jamaican music. Always Together: Chinese-Jamaicans in Reggae Music is a documentary by Generoso Fierro (Derrick Morgan: I Am The Ruler (2008), Lynn Taitt: Rocksteady (2007)), Christina Xu, and Garrett Beazley that seeks to tell the story of Chinese-Jamaican musical pioneers from the 1950s to today.
